With all of the talk about setup package selection and install procedures, I have a little story.
One of the things I do for fun is write replacement firmware for the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT - specifically pbLua. I needed an easy way to build the ARM7 cross compiler, and to locate and program the NXT via libusb. More importantly, I needed to share how to build it, which I have not yet done. Long story short, I ended up using a hacked older version of setup.exe that accepted a -p parameter and a list of packages. It worked great! Is there a compelling reason why that patch can't be applied to the current setup and released? Are there security or stability issues I'm not thinking about? That being said, I CAN run setup.exe in unattended quiet mode and get a BASE cygwin install done, and I'm quite happy with that. But I'd really, really like to specify packages on the command line. Can I help by offering to update the patch to the current setup?
